Coventry City striker George Thomas has finally ended his ongoing transfer saga and completed his move to Leicester City today.

The Sky Blues star has joined the Premier League side after the two clubs agreed a compensation package for the out-of-contract player.

The package is understood to be £450,000 plus add-ons subject to how successful the 20-year-old is during his time with the Foxes.

The three-year deal brings an end to a summer of waiting and speculation surrounding the Academy graduate's future.

Thomas, who is a Wales Under-20 international, has trained with Mark Robins 's new-look squad throughout the pre-season.

But the forward, who shot his name into the headlines with a fantastic goal in the Checkatrade Trophy final victory over Oxford United back in April at Wembley, has not played a single warm-up game as he has pondered what to do.

Robins offered the player, who made 53 first team appearances for the club, fresh terms with the promise of regular football.

But Thomas has opted to jump up and test himself at his home town club where he is likely to go straight into the Under-23s development squad.

Leicester lad Thomas has been at Coventry since a young boy and made his first team debut in January 2014 in a 2-0 League One defeat at Leyton Orient.

He made seven appearances the following season and nine during the 2015/16 campaign when he had a brief spell on loan at League Two Yeovil.

But it wasn't until last season that he finally broke through to establish himself as a regular, scoring his first senior goal against Wycombe in the Checkatrade Trophy, the competition he went on to play a starring role in by scoring a sensational winner in the final at Wembley in April.
